Some of the current research for improving our short-haul air-transportation system is reviewed. Promising aircraft range from helicopters, turbofan-powered STOL, through mechanical flap reduced take-off and landing (RTOL) concepts. Advanced rotorcraft technology can provide improved passenger, community, operational, and economic acceptability of civil transport helicopters. From wind-tunnel and design studies, techniques are available for achieving low-noise fixed-wing STOL and RTOL through proper engine and airframe design. Agreeable ride qualities, crosswind landing capability, and all-weather terminal operation are also goals of present effort.
